... WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING FOR 10 TO 15 INCHES OF SNOW...
A DANGEROUS WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING. SNOW IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, FAR NORTHEAST MARYLAND, NORTHERN DELAWARE AND SOUTHWEST NEW JERSEY LATE THIS MORNING, AND IT WILL ARRIVE IN THE BULK OF THE REST OF NEW JERSEY BY THIS AFTERNOON. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FOR THE ENTIRE EVENT ARE FORECAST TO AVERAGE 10 TO 15 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA.
TRAVEL CONDITIONS WILL BECOME EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND ALL UNNECESSARY TRAVEL IS NOT RECOMMENDED ONCE THE HEAVY SNOW BEGINS. FOLLOW THE DIRECTION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND POLICE IN YOUR AREA. DRIVING CONDITIONS SHOULD START IMPROVING LATER SUNDAY.
THE UPCOMING WINTER STORM WILL HAVE TWO PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE WILL FEATURE VERY HEAVY SNOW SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY EVENING WHERE MOST OF THE ACCUMULATING SNOW IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR. THE SNOW IS EXPECTED TO FALL SO HEAVILY THAT NEAR WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY WITH RATES POSSIBLY REACHING ONE TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR. THE SECOND PHASE OCCURRING OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WILL FEATURE LIGHTER SNOW, BUT CONSIDERABLY STRONGER WINDS. THIS WILL CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF WHAT IS EXPECTED TO BE A VERY LIGHT AND FLUFFY SNOW. THIS MAY CAUSE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AT TIMES.
ANOTHER FACTOR WILL BE THE VERY LOW WIND CHILLS. AS WINDS INCREASE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY, WIND CHILL FACTORS WILL DROP BELOW ZERO ACROSS NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY AND THE SINGLE NUMBERS ELSEWHERE.
PEOPLE WHO FIND IT NECESSARY TO VENTURE OUTSIDE SHOULD WEAR MULTIPLE LAYERS OF CLOTHING, GLOVES AND A HAT. LIMIT THAT OUTDOOR TIME TO A MINIMUM. PETS WHO ARE KEPT OUTDOORS WILL REQUIRE, AT A MINIMUM, A STRONG AND WELL INSULATED SHELTER TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE COLD, WIND AND SNOW AND ACCESS TO PLENTY OF UNFROZEN WATER. THE MOST HUMANE THING TO DO IS TO BRING YOUR PETS INDOORS. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY EARLY THIS MORNING. IT IS FORECAST TO MOVE TO THE OHIO VALLEY LATER THIS MORNING AND CROSS THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS THIS AFTERNOON. A SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS THEN FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER THE DELMARVA COASTAL WATERS THIS EVENING AND INTENSIFY RAPIDLY. THE LOW SHOULD BE WELL EAST OF OUR REGION BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

I saved this from the Hurricanetrack.com homepage from that night
Actually, out of the big 4 I remember (1996, 2003, 2005, 2006) 2005 was the mildest, mainly that it had the least snow of the four, and barely any blizzard conditions (much unlike 2006).
Snow totals
1. 1996 30.7"
2. 2005 21"
3. 2006 13"
4. 2005 12.5"
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHEAST
There is no getting around it, the monster blizzard currently raging could be one of the top ten worst in the past 100 years for portions of the Northeast! I was just reading some of the forecast discussions and run down of the warnings in place, and it is quite possible that hurricane force winds will be felt in some coastal areas of New England. Current radar images show heavy snows with possible thunder-snow storms over the Atlantic- south of Long Island. Surface pressures are falling rapidly and the wind is really picking up across much of Long Island and areas near Cape Cod. The storm will also affect the tropics some- as the latest discussion from the NHC indicates that cold air will sweep in to the Gulf of Mexico in what could be the strongest surge of winter this season. And speaking of surge- there will be a moderate storm surge in certain coastal areas of New England. The best site to start with to see the extent of this historic storm is: Weather.gov. You can click on the map to zoom in to any region you wish. Stay safe and warm if you live where this storm will affect you. I'll be hoping for the best for all of our visitors up north!
